Please everyone remember

Early results are often skewed to the republican candidate. At this point in both 08 and 20 it looked like Obama and Biden were losing. However, they both pulled it out in the end. It's still very early. It's not even 10pm yet. Keep the faith.

1. I will try

I know it’s not nice to say but Kornacki is the most annoying person. His voice is unbearable and I have no interest in most of his comments. I grab the remote and mute it whenever he is on.

[SocialDemocrat61]

2. He is rather frantic

and gets too far into the weeds. Good idea to turn him off.

[claudette]

4. I realize a lot of

people like him but I don’t like being in the weeds!! 💕

[MadameButterfly]

23. He knows his stuff

His weeds have been pretty accurate historically. It's very annoying when we don't like what we're hearing.
This is all pretty stressful but why takeit out on Steve?

[SocialDemocrat61]

38. Wasn't commenting on his accuracy

I was commenting on his delivery which many people don’t care for. And I really doubt Kornaki cares.

[MadameButterfly]

39. People were piling on Kornacki for doing his job

He's a numbers guy, not a social worker

[SocialDemocrat61]

40. Big deal

Kornaki is a well paid TV celebrity. I’m sure he’ll be fine.

[MadameButterfly]

41. I'm not worried about Kornacki

Just not wiling to pile on the bandwagon. He proved exactly right tonight. To my chagrin.
He knows a thousand counties up and down, he knows statistics. and he is why we didn't need another day or two to know the result of this election.

Maybe we would have preferred not knowing, for a blessed day or two.

[SocialDemocrat61]

42. I'm worried about the people here who will be hurting today

and the many people who will be hurt over the next several years. I could care less about an elitist TV celebrity.

9. I like the off button myself. I hated those annoying voices in my home, my castle. (or shack you might call it)

Like really off for almost 15 years with no channel entertainment. Just the radio is good enough for me. And it is only on in the kitchen.

[JustAnotherGen]

14. Switch over to PBS

Capehart is on there. No manic panic.

[BonnieJW]

19. I agree!

It's like he has a job one day every 4 years and he has to bounce all over the place

[the_liberal_grandpa]

20. Kornacki keeps saying that the uncounted votes in PA and NC will skew republican.

Not very comforting

[G_j]

36. I agree

turn him off immediately. Just the energy I don’t want or need, ever.

[bamagal62]

3. I'm terrified

[Roxi]

15. I am, too

Watching the map turn bloodier with each update is stressing me out.

[murielm99]

35. Me three.

And this is not funny.

[MustLoveBeagles]

5. I will

It's far to early to panic.

[PatSeg]

16. Yes, it definitely is far too early

I remember this from previous elections and we should all have been prepared for it.

Meanwhile, however, I really thought Trump would be doing far worse than he is.

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. I agree on trump

[Tripper11]

6. West Coast checking in

So I got home around 3p PST turned on MSNBC and watched for a while. Decided to get my exercise in. Hopped on my bike and started pedalling, still watching.
My wife got home with our 7yr old granddaughter and we had it on in the background and were chatting about our day.
Granddaughter was asking questions about the numbers and seeing trumps face and said to me, "We don't want that monster to win!
I told her damn right!
So seeing all the early red shit and deciding to eat we switched to National Geographic channel and are watching animals.
After granddaughter hits the sheets we'll go back to it.
In the meantime I'm of course peeking in on DU for updates.
GO KAMALA! 🫰🫰🫰🫰

7. This is the early phase 'Red Mirage' that happened in 2020

[PatSeg]

17. Yep, I remember it from 2020

Too soon to panic.

[Jrose]

28. Since 11pm Eastern time, Harris jumped to 179 vs. Djt 214

[PatSeg]

29. I'm starting to panic now

I honestly can't believe so many people are voting for that monster.

[MadameButterfly]

34. Red mirage was because mail in votes were counted late in 2020

They were counted early this year. Sorry, there isn't a mail vote to rescue us later in the week

[ancianita]

8. EXACTLY. None of this shows a national trend. The WIN will come with battlegrounds and the Blue West Wall.

And look at this -- Alsobrooks just won in Maryland -- another Black Senator -- Yay!

[ancianita]

10. Alsobrooks! Great job!

She fended off former two-term GOP Gov. Larry Hogan.

Alsobrooks leaned in on Senate math as a crux of her argument, asking voters to consider the likelihood of a Senate Republican majority if Hogan was elected. She frequently highlighted things like committee chairships or floor control as part of her case, though Hogan countered by vowing to be a “swing vote” in the upper chamber.

Alsobrooks is currently a county executive in Maryland. She will be the first Black senator from Maryland and among a handful of Black women ever elected to the Senate. She has called Vice President Kamala Harris a mentor, meaning the two women could be closely allied if in office at the same time.

[DemonGoddess]

11. I needed this. I may

watch something silly for a time

[citizen blues]

12. One map had Kansas bright red when Kamala was 4% ahead!

Hang in there, everyone! It's going to be a long night, and they're still going to be counting the rest of the week.

[ailsagirl]

13. Thank you

I'm watching MeidasTouch and find it helpful.

[PatSeg]

22. Sadly, I was thinking the same thing

Even though I think Harris is a far better candidate. This sucks.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. The early "red wave" happens because most Republicans vote in person on election day

That changes when early votes, mail in ballots and absentee ballots are counted.

[HUAJIAO]

25. If you dig down county by county and considering the percentages

of voters not yet counted, there are barely enough EC votes left, Kamala is so far behind. She pretty much has to run the table. Just being factual.

[mchill]

31. I agree

[mchill]

37. By my quick calcs

PA will be a nail biter

[Farmgirl1961]

26. I sure am trying.... but it is getting more and more difficult. n/t

[JohnSJ]

27. I hate to say it, but don't count on it.

[mchill]

30. Things are not the same now though

Can’t compare.

[markodochartaigh]

32. There are no more sure red states to be called,

only sure blue states and maybe states.

Republicans do best in rural areas and states with small populations, both of which are quick to count. So naturally those results come in quickly.

[Rocknation]

33. Yes, indeed. From 2020:
